More money flowing into Iowa congressional races likely
Analysts say the Supreme Court ruling lifting aggregate contribution limits will bring more money into Iowa campaigns. Donors who maxed out can give again, potentially boosting funds for both parties though Republicans may benefit more. Roughly 600 donors maxed out in 2012, with Republicans receiving the bulk of those large gifts.
